Beijing meeting to map out a blueprint

THE meeting between the Chinese and US presidents in Beijing this week is expected to map out a blueprint for the development of bilateral ties in a new era.

China and the United States are working to ensure US President Donald Trump’s state visit a success, according to Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Zheng Zeguang.

Trump will visit China from Wednesday to Friday.

Apart from formal activities, “informal interactions” will be arranged for the presidents of the two countries, Zheng told a press briefing.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Trump will discuss significant issues of common concern to build new consensus, enhance mutual understanding and friendship, and promote bilateral relations in all spheres, Zheng said.

The core of Sino-US economic and trade is mutual benefit. Solving the trade imbalance between China and the US requires expanding US exports to China and increasing two-way investment, rather than restricting imports from China, he said.

China has always worked for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and for peace and stability on the peninsula, said Zheng, adding that the issue should be settled through dialogue and consultation.

China always strictly implements UN security council resolutions. At present, all parties should refrain from action that may escalate tensions and work to bring the issue back to the negotiating table, he said.
